NGC2683 is a spiral galaxy lying between constellations of Lynx and Cancer.
You can find it about 6 degrees west of alpha Lyn, the southernmost star of Lynx, or 5 degrees north of iota Cnc, the northernmost one in Cancer.
The galaxy has a visual brightness of 10.4 and a long axis of about 9 arc minutes.
You're appreciating the galaxy being nearly edge-on, detectable as a dimmed line of light through medium-sized telescopes.
But the galaxy is a bit slanted differs from the case of NGC4565, large telescopes can catch arms coiled up and central bulge.
And this image shows you the galaxy being somewhat bended.
The galaxy of NGC2683 can be said that it's almost only one deep sky object included in a minor spring constellation of Lynx.
